I'm in the Philly / SE Pennsylvania area. Does anyone have any experience/interaction with the law firm Elliott Greenleaf? That name came up during something at work and I'm curious to know what their reputation is asking for a friend

I know that if a lawyer stops getting paid, (s)he can request to stop representing someone and get taken off the case. But someone once told me that rule doesn't apply for labor law cases. Is it true, and if so, why?

Dumb question: is there any difference between an attorney and a lawyer, or is it a historical quirk

Nonexistence posted:No one really cares, but my recollection from the last pedantry I heard on this is that lawyers is the universe of people licensed to practice law, and attorneys are the subset of lawyers who offer legal representation to others. So under this definition, say a licensed lawyer who solely does regulatory work for the government might not also be an attorney. Same for someone doing contracts management, doc review, in-house but relying on outside counsel for litigation, etc. This makes sens, thanks Nice piece of fish posted:Yes, but I'm not in the US. huh. What is the difference in whatever country you're in?

Muir posted:I am a patent attorney in the United States. I am a member of the California bar but did not go to law school. California and three other states (Washington, Vermont, Virginia) still have pure apprenticeship routes to becoming eligible for the bar examination. In California it’s called law office study (https://www.calbar.ca.gov/Admissions/Requirements/Education/Legal-Education/Law-Office-or-Judges-Chamber). So in those four states at least, the Venn diagram isn’t entirely accurate. Are you one of the weirdos who gets a graduate degree in a STEM field and then becomes a patent troll

Even though the government recommends the 2000 limit, according to wikipedia, some places still use the 300 limit which seems ...not great

If a lawyer works as in-house counsel for a big company, do they get paid a salary or can they charge their employer billable hours like every other lawyer?

Virginia treats speeding worse than murder I live in Texas where there are road sections where the speed limit is 85. 85 being reckless sure is a take by Virginia. Nissin Cup Nudist fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Aug 25, 2023 |

I'm in my last semester as a grad student and the university has stiffed me on a couple paychecks. During the normal fall/spring semesters, I am paid out of one bucket of money but I'm paid out of a complete separate bucket for the summer. Problem is, during the last summer session, the incompetent bozos in payroll hosed up my forms and so I have never been paid for the 3 summer months. I have notified both department payroll and central payroll about this and they have been allegedly working on it since July, but every "fix" they tell me they apply never happens. So I go back to complain again, they say they have a new idea how to pay me, nothing happens, repeat process. The latest brilliant idea is to start at the very beginning of the process with a new set of payroll forms, but that will take several weeks at the least before I get paid. I have finally reached the end of my patience. Is it worth it to hire a labor lawyer and have them try to bully whoever is in charge of the purse string to just cut me a check for the backpay owed? Or will billable hours eat up half my salary anyhow? Since the fall semester has started again, I am being paid correctly, but I would like the 3 months owed to me

I initially told my advisor (who actually had the same issue, but somehow manged to get everything squared up after only a month) and department payroll person in July, who has been working on this with the central university payroll. Some of the fault is mine as I assumed one of them would notify the chair, which they eventually did, but only last week. He's the one who suggested to start re-initialize from the top with the new forms. Department payroll notified me the Dean's office is taking an interest in some capacity, but I have no idea to the extent.

Javid posted:What is the statue of limitations for resolving unpaid wages where you are vs how long have they been waffling? I was knee deep in finishing my dissertation, so I kinda had other things on my mind. Not like I could quit without sending 6 years of work down the tubes Texas' stuff is 180 days but they also don't cover state agencies, so I would have to go federal instead. And who knows how long that would take.

Do any of the other states have any recompense against Abbott's migrant scheme other than hoping the Feds get off their rear end? If the New York AG or whoever determines Abbott is human trafficking migrants, what are some options? How does jurisdiction work? Is it where the migrants depart from or where they arrive? I doubt troopers can arrest an out of state governor, but something has to give
